Introducing Wave® DERMS

Introducing Wave Distributed Energy Solutions

Wave DERMS integrates DER resources with other programs such as traditional Demand Response programs. Rather than just calling a DR Event, shape the load to match renewable generation profiles using energy storage, Demand Response assets, distributed generation, and renewables.

Wave DERMS can integrate to individual devices or to aggregations of devices. Individual devices typically include larger energy storage devices, PV plants, and conventional generation. Aggregation may include home DR programs (thermostats and hot water heaters), residential storage and PV, and EV fleets.

Spirae Wave manages DER resources for distribution utility operations. Wave DERMS applications work together with existing utility systems to provide visibility and manage DER and use its inherent flexibility to host more renewables and enhance reliability.

Wave DERMS is DER type and brand agnostic. It sees the DER world as a portfolio of DER assets with specific capabilities.

Wave DERMS can include the Wave Microgrid and Energy Storage applications.

Wave DERMS provides value stacking, allowing assets to be grouped, scheduled and used for multiple purposes at different times. The Wave Planning Engine allows users to take load and renewables forecasts into account and plan optimal dispatch strategies across multiple use cases.

Benefits

Increase flexibility: The flexibility to use any DER resource to support many utility use cases makes distribution utility operations flexible and adaptable.

Resilience

Wave DERMS may be paired with Wave Microgrid functionality to provide resilience to sections of the grid using utility microgrids and behind the meter microgrids

Architecture

Wave is based on a distributed control strategy that makes it easy to integrate any type of distributed energy resource (generation, storage or loads), visualize and monitor assets, and optimally dispatch them for different applications. Dispatch can be carried out manually, scheduled ahead of time, or performed automatically to meet specific objectives.
The Wave DERMS architecture allows users to selectively mix and match groups of DERs with specific application capabilities. The Wave DERMS client connects to Wave Servers and allows operators to dispatch different DER groups to meet different objectives.
